As your Buyer's Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.
Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we'll negotiate on your behalf with the seller to make sure you get the most favorable terms.
Alec Smith has been our Realtor in two very successful real estate transactions in the past year, the sale of a spec house and a personal residence. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate thru the demanding sales process are unmatched, and it has been a pleasure working with him.
Hannah is great to work with. She is very knowledgeable of the market, whether you are purchasing or selling she looks out for her clients.
There are a lot of realtors on Hilton Head Island that do not work very hard. This is not the case with Herman & Davis Properties! They are aggressive in the marketplace and do an excellent job of customer relations and follow-though, all with a high degree of integrity and accountability. Highly recommended
My wife and I made the decision to move across the country from Arizona to Bluffton I the Spring of 2019. Having a child still in high school made the window for this move quite small. Diana Sroufe made this transition possible and provided us exactly what we needed. We flew into town to look at homes on Easter weekend and Diana was awesome! Not only did she show us what we wanted to see....even though she knew we would not pursue, but gave us insight and ideas as we viewed our first few homes together. Diana listened and immediately came up with additional homes to view based on our criteria.
Can we look at that one again? I am sure this routine can be annoying, but Diana was there to show us listings....and even go back more than a few times.
When we were ready, Diana took charge and our offer was submitted and accepted prior to our arrival in town for the second round of viewings. Diana quickly took action and even had the home inspected while we were in town. As we left, Diana had a complete list of preferred vendors for all of the things we needed and they were all top-notch.
Working with Diana was the best decision and a major reason this move was stress-free."
I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.
Throughout our recent buying efforts, we were impressed by Christina's knowledge of the community, surrounding trends of the rapidly changing local market, the ability to adapt at the last moment, and, of utmost importance her caring attitude. She never blinked at the rapid-fire requirements of Initiating offers, working the negotiations, and delivering a timely product through the process (of buying a home). In today's environment, the home buying process is not easy and could be very frustrating. Christina's unwavering dedication helped us to reach our goals and made the process delightful and satisfying. Collectively, we highly recommend Christina as a professional, knowledgeable, representative in today's fast-paced arena of real estate.
I cannot say enough great things about Debbie and Daniel! #1 thing is that they were everything they presented themselves to be. They were incredible guides to my wife and I as we looked for and bought our first home. They're so helpful - they really put our wishes at the forefront of everything they did and went above and beyond. 10 out of 10 - I would go through the process again with them.
We have worked with Becky Herman for many years and several real estate transactions. We would not call anyone else. She’s the best.
Donna & I would like to thank you Jack Menzie for the professionalism he provided to us in buying our new home. Jack there every step of the way and his insights helped us tremendously. His knowledge of the local market made our house hunting more enjoyable and stress-free. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home to utilize Jack's services.
Thanks again!!!
Becky and Monica were terrific throughout and after the successful marketing and sales process. They even send each client from the prior year another closing statement in case needed for filing purposes. A pleasure to deal with in every respect.
Tom has been our realtor since 2016 when we were first time home buyers to getting us into our forever home this past July! He is like another father to us when looking at houses and if he sees anything that looks fishy he points it out right away! We have experience with buying 2 homes with Tom and selling our first home with Tom. He made sure our sale listing had professional photos and the curb appeal it needed to sell within 48 hours of listing! Tom also showed us homes that we might not have considered but he asked us to give them a chance and we ended up in one as our forever home! I wouldn’t trust anybody else with selling or buying especially nowadays with how crazy the real estate market is! Thanks to Tom and his team for everything! The Masons!
Ron and I were pleased that Herman and Davis Properties got results. They listed our property at the right price, prepared first class promotional materials, showed it, and sold it for our asking price in 4 days. They supported us during the closing that was executed without problems. We would recommend them without hesitation.
We were referred to Hannah for the sale of our home. We had a tough order for her. We made a contingent offer on another home out-of-state and had to get our home listed within just 3 days. We also had a short window to get our place sold. Not only did she get our home photographed and listed within that 48 hours, she got it under contract and closed weeks before the contingent contract on our new home expired. When I had questions or concerns, Hannah had solutions! She was never a roadblock. Her real estate knowledge is phenomenal and she knows how to close a deal! If you want a realtor to be your best advocate, you want Hannah Howell! If you want a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients, you want Hannah Howell! If you want a realtor to close the deal, you want Hannah Howell! Thank you, Hannah! We are grateful for you!
Sold my house in one day! The Delcher's understand the Lowcountry golf communities like no other brokers. I found them to be extremely organized, professional, and very easy to work with. I let them guide me on what to list my house for based on their due diligence with the comps in our area. They marketed my home quickly and exceptionally. I had a contract on my house before it was actually listed on MLS. I highly recommend the Delcher's if you are looking for experienced brokers who know this market and are a pleasure to work with!
Herman & Davis Properties have your best interest in mind. They are upfront, honest and trustworthy with experience to support their thinking and rationale. They are patient, knowledgeable and leave no question of why they are one of the elite real estate groups in our market today.
I relocated from the Northeast to Bluffton, SC in early January. Marisa set up days multiple times for me to see homes in the surrounding area. It was a bit overwhelming trying to determine the right community, however Marisa made it less overwhelming and stressful. I was also selling a home, and it quickly became evident what a fantastic realtor Marisa is. She is a go getter and on top of every little detail; she will let you know what you need and when. She is also very honest. This is when you know you have someone that has your back and the support you need in finding the perfect home. I cannot say enough about the extremely positive experience I had with Marisa and highly recommend you choosing her to find your next home.
Daniel and Debbie are super people who made our house purchase process a breeze. They were always very responsive and made us feel that we were their only client. Debbie and Daniel are courteous and very professional which is not always easy to find. You will not go wrong with this awesome team.
I recently had the pleasure of working with David Wedgeworth to sell my home. From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, David was always professional and highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. At each step in the whole process, David came through with a commitment to excellence. David and his staff always went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of, from arranging inspections to finding qualified people to do any necessary repairs. He came to the house in a tropical storm to make sure that everything was ship-shape and to see if I required any assistance. He was especially knowledgeable about my neighborhood and was able to answer questions and help a buyer understand living on a marsh. He has lived on Hilton Head his whole life and the knowledge he has gained from that is incredibly broad and helpful to buyers and sellers alike.
Drew Butler did an outstanding job selling our home. This was the 3rd home that we sold with Drew as our agent. We had previously bought 2 homes with the help of Drew. Drew is very detail oriented, and we think that really helps sell the home. This latest home was only on the market for a short time, and we got our asking price! If I was buying or selling a house in Indigo Run Hilton Head Island, I would use Drew as my agent!
I have been involved in many real estate transactions in my life and have dealt with many realtors over the years. I have to take the time to write this review (I haven’t in the past) because of how terrific Alec [Smith] was from the start to the finish and even the follow up. His local knowledge of waterfront property is impressive to say the least. He got a premium for my home on waterfront and I attribute that to his expertise. Alec helped me with home improvements to maximize the value of my home. Everything from recommendations of contractors to driving over (on his free time) to check on the work being done while I traveled for work. I was beyond grateful to have him working to sell my home. Alec presented me with several ideas to market my home to get the best bang for the buck as well. I was impressed with his outside the box ideas and his commitment to my home. There were times where I wondered how in the world is this guy even making money on my transaction with the effort and time he put forth. My home sold several weeks ago and he has called me several times after the fact to make sure I was happy with how everything went and to see how I was currently doing. Unbelievable! The job was done and closed and he still took the time to see if I was satisfied and if things were going well. I’ve seen that ever before in a Relator. Absolute professional!
Working with Steve Harmon has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. When I began the journey of searching for properties on Hilton Head Island, I never imagined I would - or could - buy a home sight unseen. Steve was the ultimate partner, not only in finding wonderful candidates, but also by being a second set of eyes and feet on the ground. Steve toured properties for me, and even with me via Facetime. When I found a property that I loved, Steve coached me through a highly competitive offer process, helping me to strengthen my offer and to make it the most attractive option for the buyers.After my offer was accepted, Steve negotiated and handled a closing punch list for the seller to implement, and then introduced me to a network of local Inspectors, Closing Lawyers and Insurance Agents - truly a gift as I negotiated this process from thousands of miles away. His help didn't stop there ... after moving in, when the AC failed, Steve had an HVAC team at my place immediately. When we needed an electrician and plumber for home renovations and projects, Steve had us covered. He has been the best resource from day one, and someone that I trust for advice on an ongoing basis.This may very well be my dream home that I'm living in, but if it's not, I know exactly who I'll be calling to assist me in my search for the next one.
"Matt and Kara [Raehn] were a pleasure to meet and work with! Although the majority of the time we corresponded with them from afar, how genuine they are and their ability to listen and understand our needs, made us feel comfortable and certain that they had our best interest at heart. In combination with their vast local knowledge of the Bluffton/Hilton Head area, they are top notch agents and we'd confidently recommend them to anyone looking to relocate!"
A pleasure to deal with. Went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Was always available and prepared. Would definitely use Drew again.
A true team approach from the first meeting through the closing. They are all excellent communicators and go far beyond what I have experienced during other residential transactions. They are without question the best real estate firm I have had the pleasure of working with. I am so happy after interviewing three local realtors that we chose H&D!
Julianne Clark helped myself and my husband find a home and close within a month and a half !! She was so helpful and worked with us long distance until I was able to get to the state where I was buying. Julianne made sure to always address my concerns and put our needs first in the process of buying our home. Julianne is also very familiar with the low country and has given us the best information about the area. My favorite experience buying my first home! Many laughs exchanged and a lot of questions answered!
Monica and the entire team at Herman and Davis proved themselves to be very valuable throughout my recent transaction on Hilton Head. I was buying a type of property that was new to me combined with living out of the area, but having Monica on my side made it a breeze. Monica is extremely knowledgeable about the market, has all the right connections, and her 20+ years of Hilton Head specific experience shows. She made the transaction very smooth and I cannot think of any way it could have been improved. If and when we are ready to list our property, there is no one else we would call. Thank you, Monica!
We highly recommend Les Jones for realtor services. He recently helped us purchase a home and we were both impressed and appreciative of his highly professional services. He listened closely to our interests and performed diligent research to identify several options. Then, he worked closely with our calendars to schedule property viewings. He provided valuable insight about the various locations and had great recommendations for navigating the closing process. We hope to work with him again in the future.
Matt and Kara were great agents and I never considered anyone else after our first encounter. They knew the area very well and showed us different areas to give us an understanding of each community. They responded to requests and made adjustments to accommodate my schedule. They were quick to get property details and help me understand the complete picture before engaging into negotiations. They are experienced working on relocations and were able to check out properties when I was not in the area. They were easy to work with and good, honest people looking out for my interests.
As my wife and I celebrated our 61st anniversary last week, we also celebrated the sale of our Bluffton-Hilton Head area home! In our 61 years together, this was only the 2nd home we have ever sold. The vast experience and extensive knowledge of the Sun City area, combined with the utmost care for our entire process from Shelley, Gary and Allison, resulted in a seamless transaction. Their team took care of our sale from the pre-listing/listing, the staging, the competitive price point, the high quality marketing tools/brochure, and the special attention to every last detail while we were 800 miles away! Our home pended in the first week and closed with ease. We were so fortunate to have been paired with The Elliott Team through our daughter's (realtor in Indiana) Leading RE Referral Department. We not only found remarkable realtors, we found some very special "new friends". They are truly worthy of a 10 star rating... simply the best!
We owned a Sea Pines townhouse and our desire was to sell that property and buy a single-family residence. We were introduced to Andy Reed and that turned out to be a huge positive as we were able to sell our townhouse in a few short weeks and later buy a residence that matched just what we were looking for. Andy and his team listened to our wishes and fulfilled our goal. They are extremely professional, know the local marketplace and easy to work with. We have made new friends.
